pooping

zennygirl Jun 04, 2004 12:51 AM

how often should an adult ball python be pooping? how big etc? i'm worried that i hardly every find poop. a couple of times a month really, and its fairly insignificant. i think i need to feed him more is probably the consensus??

That's WAYYY more than any of my adult Ball Pythons. For sure. Even the BEST feeders only poop maybe once or twice every month - 6 weeks.

oh good! come to think of it he only really does it when he sheds which obviously isn't once a month. when i went back to the vivarium where i got him for some supplies they said he should be going once a week (as often as he eats)-and i was shocked and worried because i had thought he was in great health. so then i was hoping i was mistaken and it was a little more often as on occasion i'll find something in between sheds. good to know they are wrong. actually, bad to know they give wrong info.
